Recall of Kraft's Nantucket trail mix affects Staten Island woman

Associated PressBags of Nantucket Trail Mix, like this one, are being recalled by Kraft Foods.

Kraft Foods has issued a voluntary recall of its Nantucket Blend trail mix, saying the pistachios could be contaminated with salmonella.

No known cases of salmonella have been reported, according to the company, but a 60-year-old woman from Staten Island's Annadale neighborhood said she suffered stomach cramps after eating the product.

The recall of the trail mix, sold under Kraft's Back to Nature label and distributed nationwide, covers the 28-ounce bag of Nantucket Blend with the UPC code 59283-00020 and a "best by" date between Aug. 20 and Nov. 12, and the 10 oz. bag, with the UPC code 59283-31039 and a "best by" date between Nov. 4 and Dec. 12.

Kraft issued the recall after its trail-mix supplier found a small potential of salmonella in batch of pistachios. The recall, announced Wednesday, was issued as a precaution.

The Annadale woman purchased the 28-ounce bag at Costco in New Springville on Monday. On Thursday, she received a recorded message from the store to alert her to the recall.

By then, she was already suffering what she described as "severe" stomach pains, though she didn't connect it to the trail mix. She planned a visit to the doctor this morning, but canceled when her symptoms cleared, not even sure if the trail mix caused her illness.

She reported the incident to Kraft and was given a case number and asked to call back if she remained sick. Both Kraft and Costco have offered full refunds.

The woman praised Costco for calling her.

"I was impressed they even knew I bought it," she said. "They must have a computer system that is really on tops of things."
